Mystory casting parts of the week

[Teddo]

I have been going through a few boxes of reloading casting equipment that I inherited a while back and here are a couple I can't recognize. This gent who left me this was a mold maker reloading equipment designer so they may be something unrelated to casting but more on the reloading side of his business .Anyone recognize these tools? . There will be more to come as I uncover them. The first tool looks to be some kind of depth tool or compression tool the second tool I'm at a loss, it's well made and looks as though it may of had a T handle at one time .Teddo

On tool #2 does the top piece thread into the lower conical piece? If so it may be small machine jack used to add support during machining operations on a milling machine, something like this

That sure looks like it and it fits in what he would be using to do what he did..... Thanks . More to come as I sort them out....Teddo

And sometimes it's Christmas earley. Just got into a box of good stuff Jimmy left me, I didn't remember all the sizing dies or the handles blanks and I now have Forester pilots for all occasions. This is just the beginning I know there are molds and casting stuff to come...Teddo
